These porcelain tiles - made in Italy, are absolutely stunning and the color reminds me of the pool. We intend to use this in our guest half bathroom and I am so glad that one box will totally do the job for the 12 square footage space. They came well and tightly packaged. Each is real heavy and I expect them to hold good weight once laid with grout. See pictures of back and front. Please note that the pictures on the ground are just the tiles side-by side with no grout yet. This will be my first ever Porcelain tile, so I ook forward to seeing how it holds. I read that porcelain is stronger than ceramic.
